“…This result is in line with previous studies that highlight the opportunities for growth in this sector and are subject to the companies' ability to upgrade products and differentiate supplies (Galati et al 2014;Borsellino et al 2012); in addition, in order to better remunerate the grapes and encourage a high-quality production, wineries and nurseries should open to a greater market orientation enhancing production and closing the wine production chain (Galati et al 2015).…”

The aim of the paper is to analyze how the dynamic capabilities of the wine industry actors, involved in searching for biodiversity, influence and are influenced by the dyadic buyer-supplier relationship. In particular, the study aims at analyzing how the organizational culture, the strategic and relational approach, adopted in the customer-supplier interactions, affect the inter-organizational learning and the value-creating process. For this purpose, an explorative study has been carried out in the wine supply chain of Basilicata region (in southern Italy). Data are collected by submitting a semi-structured interview to the complete population of wineries and grape growers in the abovementioned area. By means of Principal Component Analysis and a Spearman's rank correlation analysis, the paper investigates if the relational approach adopted by the winery toward the grape grower affects positively the dynamic capabilities for wine differentiation strategies. Results show the grape grower are positively influenced by an organizational culture of winemakers based on flexibility and not standardized transformation processes then facilitating the planting choices and assuring the health of cuttings.

“…In what concerns the values bounding the conceptual framework-in line with Webster and Watson [57]-it is our belief that the multicriteria approach of the triad intellectual capital-SMEs internationalization-sustainable competitive advantage would become a good starting point for other scholars to make sense of the accumulated knowledge in the field via the multidisciplinary perspectives, beginning with the topic's central ideas towards the related key findings and relationships among variables. Hereby, the identified research areas which mainstream the relationship between intellectual capital and SMEs internationalization through the lens of sustainable competitive advantage fall under the following main directions and/or conceptual frameworks: (a) strategic alliances, e.g., [18,36,63,64], (b) social and business networks, e.g., [8,50,51,65,66], (c) business skills, e.g., [36,46,55,67], (d) pursue or achievement of sustainable competitive advantage, e.g., [19,36,68,69], (e) SMEs performance, e.g., [13,29,50,70], (f) family-owned business, e.g., [24,[71][72][73][74], (g) prior international experience, e.g., [55,[75][76][77], (h) knowledge transfer, e.g., [12,78,79], (i) institutional/governmental programs, e.g., [19,47,80,81], (j) business/organizational innovation, e.g.,…”

Bridging Intellectual Capital and SMEs Internationalization through the Lens of Sustainable Competitive Advantage: A Systematic Literature Review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of the current paper is advance a comprehensive framework meant to bridge three major concepts, namely intellectual capital (IC), the internationalization process of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and the achievement of sustainable competitive advantage. The paper stresses upon a managerial perspective within the internationalization context, investigating the human, structural and relational capital apposite to managers or entrepreneurs. By directly addressing the relationships among the constructs, the endeavor is complementary to previous systematic reviews on similar topics which tangentially discuss the conceptual triad and thus proposes an integrative research agenda for future interdisciplinary studies straddling the fields of management, business, entrepreneurship and sustainability. In terms of methodology, a systematic literature review was envisaged, by applying a stepwise approach and multifold criteria. Over 100 scientific articles published in peer-reviewed journals were scrutinized and considered in the analysis. The literature review revealed that conceptual papers in the field are scarce despite the variety of their aims and approaches. The quantitative-based empirical studies prevail over the qualitative ones, while mixed methods research designs are scant. In terms of content, the extant studies fall short to advance research and structural models testing and assessing the specific relations among constructs and avail new research avenues focused on the underlying processes of SMEs internationalization by means of intellectual capital harnessing and sustainable competitive advantage achievement.

“…Data used in the present study are from a field experiment carried out in irrigated vineyards located at 37°83′N and 13°00′E in southwestern Sicily (Italy) (Novara et al ., ). This is an important wine‐producing area that contributes to the competitiveness of Italian wines on the world market (Crescimanno & Galati, ; Crescimanno et al ., ; Galati et al ., ).…”

Towards More Efficient Incentives for Agri‐environment Measures in Degraded and Eroded Vineyards

Evaluating the economic damage caused by soil erosion is important. In addition to increasing the awareness of the problem among farmers and policy makers, evaluation of the economic damage caused by erosion can promote the implementation of more sustainable soil management practices. In the present study, we describe a new approach to evaluate incentives for the adoption of agri-environment measure (AEM) in degraded and eroded vineyards. To estimate this incentive, the replacement cost (RC) and the loss of income are calculated when the vineyard is managed with conventional tillage versus a cover crop (AEM). Our findings show that the incentive could range from the loss of income due to AEM adoption to the ecosystem service benefit (RCC-RCAEM). In our case study, the incentive ranged from 315Euroha(-1) (loss of income) to 1,088Euroha(-1) (ecosystem service benefit). Within this range, the incentive amount is determined according to efficiency criteria based on vineyard slope. We also present a conceptual model of public spending efficiency that should help policy makers decide how to allocate the incentives so as to maximize the economic return associated with ecosystem services
